Osaka, Japan - Panasonic Corporation joined Mori Building Company, Limited (Headquarters: Minato, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shingo Tsuji. Hereinafter referred to as "Mori Building") and eHills Corporation (Headquarters: Minato, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroo Mori. Hereinafter referred to as "eHills") to build a virtual private network consisting of a private telephone network using sXGP*1 base stations, a private 4G (LTE) standard using unlicensed frequency bands, with a 5G core network (hereinafter referred to as "5G core") and a public LTE network, and conducted a demonstration experiment with the purpose of developing new services for building tenants and facilities, and off-site environments.
In this virtual private network, users of building tenants who use offices in large cities, satellite offices, and shared offices can connect directly to the intranet of their companies securely at anytime from anyplace without being concerned about where they are and without being worried about complicated setup such as VPN connection settings. In addition, by developing sXGP base stations connected to the 5G core as a building infrastructure and utilizing 5G network slicing, the private telephone network will be further expanded as a communication platform for the building operation and management system, etc. This system is designed to go beyond the premises of each building, with an eye toward supporting autonomous driving in an area of several buildings. After extracting the effects and issues of sXGP, we are planning to replace some base stations with local 5G stations and carry out a demonstration to sophisticate the system.
